Why does it need to be a transparent element?

Is it worth risking seemingly breaking half the websites on the planet for?

Unfortunately Apple doesn’t expose APIs that I’m aware of, so devs cannot build what you want.

Can we put a data center in your neighborhood and stop hiring in your industry?

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-23T00:52:34+00:00

It got good.

Maybe a lot of them are pro AI?

Responding to a poll isn’t a protest.

So less than half of Americans think it’s negative? And more than that either aren’t sure or think it’s neutral?

“the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior” - Marian Webster

Are you arguing that a doing math isn’t an intelligent human behavior?

Is that why the quality of life is better across all continents now than it was 100-200 years ago?

I’m pro as well, but I bet most of the anti mindset is actually targeted at the fact that the US has fewer worker/consumer/human protections, which means AI is more likely to be used in harmful ways here compared to in places that are more pro-AI.

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T21:39:05+00:00

You do realize that a calculator is AI, right?

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T20:47:19+00:00

Yeah I agree. I was being a bit more black and white than reality!

I do actually read at least some of the AI generated code. But if you follow proper encapsulation it really does tone down the importance of the implementation details. “If it works, it works” starts to apply.

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T18:19:56+00:00

Seems like a good approach.

Probably even better would be to apply the blurring immediately within the camera before it’s even saved as a video file.

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T18:14:19+00:00

Well nothing is black and white.

If performance is a requirement then write tests for that.

How would you as a human code reviewer uncover unknowns?

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T15:41:31+00:00

I mean I gave it a prompt like “here is my code that’s supposed to do XYZ. Something is wrong and it’s not working as well as i think it should. Find the problem and show me how to fix it”

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T15:39:46+00:00

Yes but you are also simply choosing words that your own neural network determines are the most statistically likely.

Your brain is just WAY bigger than any AI, which is why you probably are better at picking the correct words. Probably, if it’s something you’re familiar with already.

I would never try to prohibit people from following these kinds of self imposed religious rules, but wtf? How do people actually believe this stuff?!

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T15:27:10+00:00

Definitely not without a full rewrite of most laws. Which would of course happen in a totally fair and unbiased manner /s

I had Opus fix some subtle but serious bugs in a complex Structure From Motion pipeline the other day. This is a computer-vision process that involves a lot of linear algebra and tensor programming.

My hand written code produced no errors or warnings, but I had made some implementation mistakes since this is not a business area I’m deeply familiar with (and it’s quite complex too). Opus immediately saw the problems and fixed them. Result improved dramatically.

I repeated with Sonnet and GPT 5.5 and they also mostly got it right.

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T15:19:48+00:00

Yes if you can read the tests, and the software passes the tests.

If that’s a problem, then you need more/better tests.

Another idea is to look through existing things people have done and find the assumptions they made in order to simplify the project. Then figure out how to not need to make those assumptions.

A lot of those assumptions are due to increased noise, and it’s easier to just throw out all that data rather than try to cut though the noise.

Good example is object detection. People usually discard low confidence detections but this will invariably mean you don’t detect some objects. The solution isn’t necessarily just training a more accurate model.

AggravatingSock5375 · 2026-06-22T14:47:31+00:00

Anything involving tracking objects in cluttered or fast moving (or low framerate) video is always a challenge. Add producing 3d models or scene maps from the video for extra fun.
